• Visual FoxPro Stretch with Overflow + Page breaks

  Hi, all This is probably an easy question, but I'm still a newbie at VFP. I've got a report (built with the Report Designer that's shipped with VFP) and I have a field wicg is marked to stretch with overflow. Problem is, sometimes it strechs over a page break (part of the text is printed in one page, the rest in the next page). Can I keep this from happening Thanks in advance Hi You can set the minimum space in inch or cm you need at least for one record. but it's a constant value. You can find it at the detail band properties (double click on the detail band in the report designer). ...Show All

• SQL Server Ranking Queries in Data Source View/Reporting Model

  I want to take advantage of the new SQL rank queries in my Data Source View - but it only gives me access to Tables and Views. Of course Views cannot handle one of these queries. Also, Named Queries are limited to view syntax. So, is there anyway I can expose such a query to my Report Model Or can I do something similar in my Report Model e.g   WITH QCS AS (   SELECT Field1, SUM(Field2) AA TotalF1   FROM vwTable   GROUP BY Field1 )  SELECT *, RANK() OVER (ORDER BY TotalF1) AS Rank FROM QCS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Rollcall -- Is anyone here???

  This place seems pretty dead....is it an actively supported resource for Microsoft info   Are there any Microsoft staff or at least any MVPs around here   Or should I be looking elsewhere for usefull information and discussion Even email to the address shown for "Jim Glass" is bouncing...

• Windows Forms Whidbey BackgroundWorker component fails in Form Load event

  I'm trying to use the new BackgroundWorker component (Whidbey) in a sample VB.NET WinForms project. I've followed the examples on MSDN and can successfully recreate and run those examples. All of those examples though have the background process kicked off from a button on the form; i.e. the RunWorkerAsync method of the BackgroundWorker object is called from the click event of a button. If I do this same thing but instead try to kick off the background process from the form's LOAD event handler, I get a "Cross-thread operation not valid" exception when trying to update the UI. Putting in some debug code reveals that when call the RunWorke ...Show All

• Visual Studio Toolbox Images no longer showing up transparent

  For some reason the code that we used to use from 2003 for adding toolbox items with transparent images no longer works in 2005.  We are using the latest release of 2005 with the latest SDK.
